It's Crazy...

It’s crazy
You still amaze me in every way.
Your love still takes me through the day.
In every moment I just want to stay.

It’s crazy
You can still faze me with just a touch.
And I still want you so god damn much.
Because my heart is in your clutch.

It’s crazy
My mind goes hazy when I reminisce
about your soft skin and a passionate kiss.
Who knew this happiness would ever exist.

Author notes

Written February 28th, 2008 by Ringside.

This is a format that to the I created and to the best of my knowledge, has never been used before. The 1 line rhymes with the second line in mid sentence. Lines 2,3 and 4 Rhyme traditionally at the end. I've haven't thought of a name for this format yet. So, if one pops in your head when you're reading this, by all means let me know. The rhyming pattern is:
A
A, B
...B
...B

A
A, C
...C
...C

A
A, D
...D
...D

In a list

    You could call the rhyme scheme "Overlap".

    Very interesting. I loved the internal rhyme. I think this kind of scheme could be profitably expanded.

    Interesting rhyme scheme. Once again, you show everyone that love can really make it, and that simple things can be remembered and delivered with such care and beauty. I hope she gets to read these and smile every time she sees the words you bring to life. Great write.

    Nice job i assume (judging the content only). I am not much of a romantic poet at all, so it is hard for me to accurately judge it in power and stuff like that. However it was a pretty good poem in not falling into the same pattern as every other poem out there.

    I thought that was amazing. I loved it!
    The repetition of it's crazy was very nice and the rhyme and the flow were absolutly flawless! Great write. Well done.

    Great Form!

    I would have to say, I have never seen this particular form before and I suggest you jump on the chance to perfect it and name it after yourself!
    But seriously, I enjoyed this poem immensely, my favorite part is,

    "It’s crazy
    You can still faze me with just a touch.
    And I still want you so god damn much.
    Because my heart is in your clutch."

    Don't stop writing and perfecting your new form!
    Great work!

    Nice rhyme scheme and good flow
    As I read this, I can't help but think of how a jazz singer would interpret it. It sounds good inside my head. I do think that it might be nice to see a single line at the end, as the poem doesn't seem quite finished to me. Maybe that's just the way I read it

    In any event, it's enjoyable.

    Very nice flow and I enjoy your newly created format very much. I think I would like to try it sometime. Someone is very lucky to have a love like yours. I, personally could have done without God before that other word but it kind of made it more powerful at the same time. Very nice write even though I don't care for that one phrase. The rhyme scheme was absolutely wonderful.

    Excellent

    A very nice write, indeed. Imagery, rhythm and rhyme are just fine. The use of the word: crazy, reminded me of my poem: "Ele Mental", which you might enjoy, if you choose to read it. Here's a link to it:

    A good penning with a unique format, though I have seen some poetry forms that are similar, the romantic stanza come to my mind on the very first read as that does something similar with the rhyme, though not quite the same as here. A good flow and rhythm, though I personally think if all lines were the same beat it would flow even smoother.

    This is a very beautiful piece, and made me think of how I feel about my fiance. Keep penning for you are very talented, and bring emotion to the write in a way that touches my very soul. You did a wonderful job.

    a nice poem, although unfortunately, the rhyming on the second verse seemed a little forced, other than that, i can't see any faults, well done

    An Excellent Rhyming Scheme

    I greatly admire the effort put in to make this work although the statements themselves are have been made very common... which I'm a culprit of that also. On the overall, thank you for entering this contest and please keep it coming.
